Hi Group,

We are in the process of setting up a DS6000 and very often we run into
this:

CMUN02390E mkfbvol: Unable to create volume. Extents are currently
being formatted and will be available at a later time.

I know it is not an error. It is given to me because the previous
volumes have been dropped and their extents are being reformatted
before reuse. My question is this: is there a way to figure out what
background processes are running and/or how much of the formatting is
done? The documentation says reformatting takes 4 hours per TB of
space, not very helpful. Also, does anyone know how this reformatting
takes place? On a per server basis, on a per LSS basis, or on a per
extent pool basis, or other?

Thanks.
